And now, what you have all been waiting for: the second installment of the end-of-the month quiz challenge! Last time, you had to pick who you preferred between (a) Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton and (b) Noel and Ben. Like last time, I would appreciate it if you don't wimp out and say you can't decide. You must pick one!

Here are your choices for February:

1. Alex P. Keaton or Mike Seaver2. 'N Sync or Backstreet Boys

The results of this very important quiz will be posted on Thursday night. If you respond by Thursday at 8 pm Central, I will include your answer in the Quadrant o' Results, and you can see if we are still friends or not. Just kidding! Of course I will still be your friend [if you pick the right answers].

This is a tough one. Definitely Alex P. Keaton because Seaver got so preachy at the end. Also, that episode where Alex and Ellen are in the train station and "At This Moment" is playing in the background? Heart-melting.

As to BSB v. *Nsync, I have to go w/ JT's alma mater, if only because my little sister subjected me to a concert of theirs in New Jersey, and THAT is sisterly love. Also, any love for BSB is retroactively shot due to Nick Lachey's recent behavior.

Oh dear. At the height of the Seaver success, I would've said Mikey, but you know, with age comes wisdom, and even though he's a young Republican twerp (yes, Janet, you got it!), I'd have to go with Alex. Cute as hell, responsible to a fault...and he seemed to mellow out at the end. A bit. And although Mikey seems more in line with my previous choice of Ben (in the Ben/Noel discussion), I have to go with Alex P. Who wouldn't want Elise and Steven as in-laws? Just family campfire singing nights would sell it for me.

And I've never liked 'N Sync or any of its members, so it's gotta be BSB. What can I say? I want it that way.

Alex P. Keaton all the way. I never had the same love for Mike Seaver that everyone else did. Maybe i just didn't get it. And while the young republican twerp thing kind of got in the way, you could tell his intentions were pure. Oh, Alex... how we miss you.

And since i've never been a fan of the boy-band phenomenon, i have no idea which one to pick, so i will do so totally randomly.

I have only seen Family Ties and Growing Pains in reruns as an adult. I never watched them growing up--not sure if they were on in England, but I don't remember watching them. But Michael J Fox is lovely. I choose him. As Alex, of course.

I refuse to choose the other. There is only ONE boy band and that is Take That.PS) When the hell is H going to blog?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Alex P. Keaton, of course! Those scenes between him and Tracy Pollan were so smokin' hot, you just KNEW there was something real there. I always wanted to smack Mike Seaver. Truthfully, I always wanted to smack most of the Seavers. (Which didn't keep me from watching their reunion movie a few years ago, to my chagrin.)

What, I can't pick O-Town? (Okay, I admit it--I was somewhat addicted to the first season of Making the Band. Hee.) Okay, if death is not an option--Backstreet Boys.

1. While Mike Seaver was more likely to make it on my wall in the form of a poster from Tiger Beat magazine, Alex P. Keaton wins, hands down. He wins the longevity vote - 20 years ago I probably would have said Mike Seaver. Now there's no competition.

So, as an adult I would choose Alex, but if I am being honest, it was Mike who did it for me when I was young. I had Kirk Cameron posters all over my wall and may or may not have kissed said posters on occasion. (That would be before I moved onto my Jon Bon Jovi obsession and Kirk was dethroned.)

I really have never listened to either of those bands other than what was on the radio and I cannot remember whose song was whose, but if forced to choose I would say 'nsync only because I like Justin Timberlake. OH! And also because I HATE the song "As Long As You Love Me" which iTunes has just confirmed was by the Backstreet Boys. "I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did, as long as you love me..." WTF? I hate those lyrics.

APK. Fo sho! Mike Seaver. BAHAHA! He was a supreme tool, and I was never into curly hair on guys. Alex P. Keaton, on the other hand, wore monogrammed sweaters and wanted to go to Princeton. That's my kind of guy.

I have to go with NYSYNC. They have some damn catchy songs, and those moves? Aww yeah. And obviously they have JT, who is hott in the weirdest sort of way.

APK--I didn't think politics until my later years and I did not like Growing Pains.

?? 'N Sync?? Even reading through the comments of which songs were by which band and who Justin and Nick rolled with, I just can't keep it straight. I'm crossing my fingers that we can still be friends.

I'm so very an Alex girl. And N'Sinc, I guess. Those backstreet boys kinda creeped me out. Well, so did Joey Fatone and that guy with the weird hair, but not as bad. But I was a boy-crazy adolescent in the 90s, sooo isnt' NKOTB an option? I was very much a Jordan girl, too.
